I’m delighted to say that my health is restored. After spending so much time indoors recently I was waiting for a sunny day during this snowiest of Februaries in Denver and when the partially sunny day arrived last Friday, I grabbed my camera and made my way to the Denver Botanic Garden. This was my first trip to the garden in the winter and I wanted to see the array of orchids displayed indoors by the Denver Orchid Society. They were nice, but not quite what I wanted to capture. I had limited time so I went for a quick walk through the deserted outdoor garden. I was running out of time and my battery was almost gone, when I captured today’s image.
I’ve photographed these fountains before, but without the beautiful greenery and flowers of spring , summer, and fall in bloom, I found them more beautiful than ever in their winter surround. There is most certainly beautiful life in every season. On my first post 60th birthday today, I certainly experienced that with the help of family and friends in my own garden. What beauty is showing up in your season?

17 Feb 2012IBK, my first visit to your blog. Love the winter garden image. I don’t really like cold, but it invites me to sit down and stay awhile. Happy birthday and my prayer for many more seasons that find you treking w/ camera in hand. Blessings.

18 Feb 2012IBK, I trust you had a Happy Birthday celebration, shared with wonderful friends. I am truly enjoying your postings and the outstanding images you continue to capture. I so enjoy these two icy sentinels guarding the botanical gardens–until Spring arrives. Delighted that you are feeling better. Blessings, T
